Martins Place in Hillingdon

Perfect steaks, lovely staff. Can recommend. Martin is a wonderful host. Bookings only yet well worth it. Will be visiting again.

Been here many times, always great for special occasions or a nice meal for two. This was a birthday meal, with wife, sister and mother in laws. Food as usual was first class, as was the service. If you want to make an impression on in laws or future in laws, this is definitely the place to go.

Our last visit was the evening of New Year’s Eve 2023. Ignore the negative reviews.. I’ve read them and these people belong in a harvester and not a personal restaurant like this, it’s unique, it’s not a fancy posh restaurant, it’s not for those who are looking for a Michelin style experience. This is Martin and Charlotte bringing you excellent food, Martin cooks and Charlotte runs the 5 tables. They are a great team and we always leave with a smile on our faces and need to diet afterwards. This is by far our favourite place to eat in Uxbridge, great food, great atmosphere and unique.

Real food with good sized portions. Steak is very good. Great chef and nice menu choice. Very cosy and a nice atmosphere here.

Went to Martins Place for Valentines day. Cannot tell you what the food was like as waited over 1 hour. If you go to Martins Place make sure that you order a starter as like I did I only ordered the main course and was told by Martin you will need to wait till everyone has eaten the starter before they will bring the mains out. Martin was rude when approached to ask when the food will be served although they rang to ask us to go earlier than 2030. Will not be returning as found Martin very rude and I felt that our custom was not good enough as we didn't order the starter.

What can I say, I’ve been an Uxbridge resident for all my life and always wanted to eat here but never had the chance. Very impressed, it’s the best food that your nan might cook but you can’t ask for. Friendly welcoming and tasty at House wine was great too!

Absolutely amazing meal food is out of this world....... well worth the money see you soon!!! :) love the atmosphere very welcoming was perfect

Great little restaurant with fantastic food. We had a lovely evening with great service from the friendly waitress.

A proper old school restaurant offering a menu of what I would class as 1980s classics. I went for the chicken cordon bleu (which was absolutely delicious) and my colleagues all had filet steaks and claimed they were the best steaks ever! And what’s really amazing is the value for money as every dish is very reasonably priced. See you again soon, Martin!

Staying nearby on a theatre-trip weekend. As before we came to Martin's place. The steak was fabulous one of the best I've ever had - so tender. Good rosé in the absence of champagne! Will obviously be back.

I've been to Martin's place twice now and have not been at all disappointed. The ambience and the customer service is first class. There's a personal feel to the restaurant and very cosy. The steak was to die for. I would definitely recommend this restaurant but you have to book in advance as it's very popular. Thank you for you kindness and attention to your customers.

Petite bistro with limited covers, MAKE SURE YOU BOOK WELL AHEAD. On a dull Wednesday November evening it was full and they were turning people away at 7.30pm! I think that says it all. I don't think there is anything in the area that comes anywhere near the quality of Martin's Place.

I haven't been to Martin's Place for about 16 years since moving out of the area, but I was meeting with old friends and I thought it would be great to go back and see if was just the same. Reassuringly it was - still looked exactly the same - cosy and friendly. The smell was amazing as you walked in. I had the Chicken Supreme Princess which was delicious, served with chips and lots of vegetables. Followed by a chocolate roulade. All at a very reasonable price too. I will definitely be back and will not leave it 16 years this time :-)

We hadn’t booked but we were soon found a table. The dining room is quite small and with the aromas and sounds of cooking from the nearby kitchen it gave us the feeling of eating in someone’s home rather than in a restaurant. The service was friendly and attentive but not intrusive. The food was excellent and obviously freshly cooked for us.

Always great food and service is lovely! This is My go to place in Uxbridge and the only restaurant you can get proper French cuisine 😊

This is a very special and unique place to bring your spouse, family or friends for dinner. Martin bringing his personal flavour and passion into both food and service. Thank you again for a wonderful and personal experience.

Went with family and had a wonderful time. The place felt cozy and inviting, and the service was so friendly. There was a great selection on the menu, and all of our food came very quickly and was absolutely delicious! Lovely to come somewhere where food is cooked to order. Will definitely come back!

What a great place at the heart of Uxbridge. Martin is a great cook. Service is wonderful and the food is amazing. You have to book in advance which once to go you can understand why.

Amazing place, an Uxbridge institution... Friendly atmosphere, excellent service. I normally go for the excellent steak, while my friend had what was described as the tastiest rack of lamb he had ever had.... fell off the bone. Highly recommended.

I've been wanting to go to Martin's Place for years and was lucky enough to call up late one evening and get a table! It's such a small, cosy little restaurant. It's like you've walked into a little B&B dining room- which is nice and very different to the trend of bigger and fancier restaurants. I came here because I heard the food was amazing and reasonably priced. My main was a steak with peppercorn sauce. It came with heaps of chips and vegetables, way too many for one person to finish! The steak was nice, was well cooked. Is it the best steak I've had- no, but it was good! I also had the deep fried camembert which was nice as well. Whilst satisfied, I wasn't ecstatic, and I couldn't put my finger on it. And then I looked around at the clientelle. This is a local restaurant, for local people who want a range of good food at excellent prices. You won't break the bank eating here, and you will never get lower than 7/10 on your food! However, it may not be the best dish of that product you've ever eaten- for example, the steak and peppercorn sauce were probably underseasoned. But for the amount I was paying- I wouldn't complain! 3 course meal for less than £30 in this day and age! Bargain! Keep coming here and keep supporting these local businesses.

Petite and cozy restaurant with a warm ambience. All products are carefully sourced of excellent quality and freshly cooked. The house wines are well choosen and good value. If you are local and visit once Martins will become a regular haunt. Today was our fouth...

Delicious freshly Cooked food! Martin and the other staff all very friendly. Rump steak with peppercorn lovely and my boyfriend had the chicken princess- creamy mushroom sauce with chicken and asparagus. Both came with a big bowl of chips and big bowl of veg to...

Had an amazing meal at Martin place, fillet steak amazing great wine and great service. Only thing I would say which was disappointing and seems to be different from the last time I came was the chips were not good! Very dry and over done...

Always good, can’t fault this place always visit when working in the area Great service, good food, and the steaks never disappoint Worth booking

Always loved Martins, we visited as part of the Goverment discount. We were impressed how well social distancing was done in such a small resturant. Food, as ever, was fantastic. So so happy to be back at Martins!

Went to Martin's place last night and had a fantastic meal. Obviously a little different than our last visit but had a great evening. So much so I have booked again for a couple of weeks time with friends.

Went to Martins for the first time tonight 12-8-20. My freiend when booking had asked if he could source two t- bone steaks for our visit which he did. The ambience staff service and the food was all exceptional recommend a visit to anyone

OMG, Martin's burgers are exceptional. Had one a few weeks ago and it was really good but last nights burger took it to a whole new level. Absolutely delicious!!! Thank you Martin :)

During the lockdown he's doing takeaway burgers 7 quid must be the best buy in town includes the best crispy chips in London fab value

I've always loved Martins Place. It's such a small intimate resturant with phenomenal food for such a low price. He's recently started doing burgers to takeaway which we had tonight and they are AMAZING! You can choose a bun and cheese, I had brie and...

Absolutely great food & cosy atmosphere. Can’t wait to return.... Enjoyed on the last Saturday night before lockdown!

So the reviews so thought we would give it a try. Good atmosphere very friendly. Food not outstanding, would probably not venture back tried the steak, the lamb on another table looked better. Get loads of extras which was a bit too much.

Had a really warm welcome from the staff, it was great because it wasn't crazy busy with loud music/people. Great place for a homely feel. The food took a little while but it was worth the wait - I had a scrumptious salmon along with...

Had pate starter some toast and pate can't really go wrong on that it was quite nice the stroganoff was very poor not great meat and a pale cream sauce dribbled over it. I only actually decided to try it because it was in the...

We dined here mid-week after years of not being able to get in. It is what is says it is - a friendly bistro. If you are looking for flash modern cooking, or delicate, contemporary Michelin star stuff this probably isn't for you. If you...

We have visited Martin's Place three times now and it simply doesn't disappoint. It is a small Bistro, run by Martin and a small crew. The food is straight from the 70's and 80's, and frankly at 80's prices. Just phenomenal value. Where else can you get Chablis, or Fillet steak, for under £20? Fine dining, it is not. Brilliant, honest food, served well. Martin is a gem, a German by birth, but trained in hotels here in the UK over 30 years ago. We walked in on spec at 8, and were advised by Martin to come back at 9. We arrived at 8.45, to be greeted by Martin..."you don't have a watch, then" LOL. Ordering steak..Martin..."If you had a choice, how would you like your steak cooked?" LOL....And it was perfectly medium rare, and delicious. 2 people, 2 bottles of wine, after dinner digestive, 3 courses, all for under £100, including tip. This place is a real treat for those of us who want a trip down memory lane, in an informal setting. Best to book though; very small.

Another great evening at Martin's. A group of ten friends met here and really enjoyed ourselves. The food was well cooked, fresh and plentiful. Thank you Martin.

Just had a superb evening at this gem of a restaurant. Lovely food, friendly service and great atmosphere. Thanks Martin!

Just had a fantastic meal at Martin's this is our second visit and it never dissapoints the food is very high quality we ordered two steaks and two cordon bleu chicken dishes and all four were cooked to perfection and came with a generous helping of mixed salad,mixed vegetables and a huge dish of chips,thank you for a special meal we will be back again

Been here several times over the years and never had a bad meal. This is a tiny bistro. If you want a good steak, this is the place to go. Booking is a must as it is always busy due to limited tables. Martin manages to cope with a larger groups as easily as he does with a couple. The only downside is the lack of draught beer. Bottles or cans only.

This is a very small restaurant . It has a familiar cozy vibe . I have been coming here for years , I can honestly say it’s the best steak I’ve tasted . Excellent value for money . Fantastic service ,?wonderful food

Three of us went on recommendation, why they thought this place was good I'll never know. Steak with pepper sauce it was covering the meat so that I couldn't see it's poor quality tough and flavourless. Only one thought theirs was reasonable. Coke came out of 2 litre bottles therefore completely flat and at the extortionate price of £2-50 per glass and to top it all after peeking in their fridge EVERYTHING was from Tesco's even the desserts. Wouldn't be surprised if everything was frozen the veg certainly were.

What a lovely evening we had here recently. Staff were so welcoming, food was really lovely and very well cooked. There was 4 of us and we were all happy with our food, tasted like it was home cooked and not defrosted like some of the chains serve.

We went to Maetins Place again last night. It was aa always fantastic. Words don't do it justice. Martin is a great chef, he is passionate about his restaurant and his girls work hard to compliment this with their level if front of house service. We have been served by Charlotte Danielle, Laura, Fi and all the girls are fantastic. Special mention to the girls behind the scenes, Zoe in particular.

I have been coming here for over 20 years and the most recent visit was a further confirmation of the outstanding quality and value that Martin delivers. Fillet steaks perfectly cooked, crispy chips and even great veg.

Meal with family 1st class food hot and well presented thankyou will definitely visit again a hidden gem

Family get together recently. Martin and Laura couldn't do enough for us as a group. The welcome was lovely, the food incredible - from a large group with most of the orders for steak we couldn't get over how each and every steak was cooked to perfection (from rare, rare to medium, medium rare, medium, well done). The rack of lamb was so tender. Sides complementary and wine flowing. Not one complaint :-) Cannot wait to return to this quirky, welcoming and excellent eatery. Thank you x

We were 4 Canadians here for a conference and found Martin’s Place by it’s reviews.

Very nice meals From starters to deserts Lovely steaks Duck Lamb shanks Wine Fantastic value for money

Sometimes you need some delicious, home cooked, flavoursome grub and Martin’s Place certainly delivers. We spent a lovely evening dining on Camembert, duck, chicken and scrumptious desserts. The house wine was also delightful. All for a very affordable price, I’m looking forward to returning.

A birthday celebration and 1 party member did not arrive. We got told off fof not informing them in advance! The waiting staff were quite miserable with us and thus easily did put a damper on the celebration. She could have took one of us aside to talk instead of expressing the dissatisfaction in front of the entire party. A real shame for otherwise lovely food

We moved away from this area 13 years ago and was visiting family so decided to have a meal here, what a gem of a place we had forgot how good the food was great atmosphere and service, if you visit have a fillet steak it’s just mouthwatering and tender the only thing I could say and most wouldn’t is your food is worth more than you charge!! Put your prices up it’s worth every penny.

Went with 2 couples to celebrate my birthday we all had 3 courses and the food

The food was absolutely amazing well worth a visit and Martin was an absolute gent and superb host a five star meal

Eating at Martins was such a pleasure. Our host, owner and cook, Martin, was a delight to spend time with. He came out to chat with us before and after our meal, making us feel so very welcome. And the food...wow! We ordered three starters, mushrooms, baked camembert cheese and french onion soup. Everything was delicious. For our meals, we ordered rack of lamb, chicken cordon bleu, and liver and onions. The mains were fantastic and served with incredibly generous portions of new potato's, crisps and assorted fresh vegetables. The house wine was lovely! For dessert we ordered the evening special which was a raspberry and creme cake roll, a toffee cheesecake, and a fruit bowl with cream. I can't say when I have topped off my dinner with a more luscious dessert. We all agreed that this was by far the best meal we have had on our trip to the UK and perhaps, one of the best meals we have had period! The room is adorable, serving on 20 or so people, creating an intimate, yet friendly environment, you can't find in a chain restaurant or in a larger dining setting. If you are looking for a truly delicious and delightful dining out evening, please visit Martin in Uxbridge and give him our best!

A gem of a place. Friendly owner/chef, Warm welcome delicious food great value, what else would you want

Was so looking forward to visiting this restaurant. It’s always busy so booked 4 weeks ahead. Such a disappointment though. My rack of lamb was so tough (over cooked) I just couldn’t eat it. Of the four meals at our table three were not very good. The other two were over seasoned, much too much salt in the prawn dish and too much mustard in the stroganoff. Prawn cocktail and pate ok but no cooking involved there. The veg was good thankfully so filled up on that. Didn’t see the chef but waitress was apologetic.

Absolutely amazing meal food is out of this world....... well worth the money see you soon!!! :) love the atmosphere very welcoming was perfect

Although it was a snowy and cold night we still went out. Lovely food I had duck, Christine had salmon. So tasty and the champagne was lovely too. Great and friendly service. Will definitely return.

I came back to Uxbridge this week to attend a family funeral and needed to find a restaurant to have a cheerfull re-union with a close friend.

Cosy friendly atmosphere, staff very welcoming and attentive. Chef / owner visits table to see if the meal is to your liking .

Martin cooks the best steak in Uxbridge. Been going there for many Years. Never a fails to impress. Martin sources his ingredients locally. He always comes around the tables after the meal and asks if all was ok.

Fantastic time here again. Best atmosphere and food with lovely personal service. Friendly. Would definitely recommend

A small restaurant with circa 20 covers, T-bone Steak was the special, it was great as it filled the plate, with a small side dish of Veg.

Small and intimate restaurant Great service good food . Maximum people 18 good choice of menu to suit all comers Good section of wines to suit all tastes

This tiny restaurant is absolutely superb. Martin serves quality food, expertly cooked, at very reasonable prices. The atmosphere is warm and friendly and the service is excellent. We live a long way away but it's definitely worth the journey for another visit.

Not been here for a few years but always loved the food and their prices and portions are good too; If I was to level any criticism well it can be rather noisy when full/nearly full so the restaurant might benefit from some sound deadening materials on the walls which may well absorb some of the laughter and joviality which can be prevalent in this establishment. Overall it would be hard to find a better place to eat.

Martins is a small restaurant with a very friendly atmosphere We go every Christmas as a group and have a wonderful time Food is excellent and the owner/chef has just got to be the best at cooking steak and chips

went for dinner with our friends, haven't been in the restaurant for about 20 years, the place has not lost its charm, small friendly food was excellent value for money, would go back again

You always know what to expect here, whatever you order from the menu you will enjoy. The menu is a little limited but that said Martin cooks everything to perfection. Good value for money and would always recommend.

Small, local, friendly. Great value, large portions and the longevity says it all. Why go to a chain when you can experience real food, served by long serving staff and Martin, at fair prices There is a lot of love exuding. It shows Highly recommended

Martins place is a great little restaurant. The perfect steaks with massive sides of chips, potatoes and fresh vegetables. The steaks are unbelievable. The place only holds around 16-20 people but that means the service you get is immaculate. The foods great, the service is great and everyone is so friendly including Martin himself who checks to see if the food is up to standard personally. Would defiantly go back if I ever go Uxbridge again. BOOK IN ADVANCE TO AVOID DISAPPOINTMENT!

Have walked past a couple of times and always busy, but this time was quiet ( Monday night) 3 fillet steak ordered, with various sauces.

Food was lovely but place is to small there was a table of 12 women celebrating a birthday all talking at the same time couldn't hear yourself think

With great pride and care, owner Martin expertly cooks up each meal in this quaint cafe. Here you order your entree, which is then served with heaping bowls of fresh vegetables. All of the food is delicious, including the various appetizers. As we finished dinner, we struck up conversations with guests at the neighboring tables. Martin, who had completed his chef duties, joined in the conversations.

Small bistro with limited menu. Only one vegetarian main. But Camembert was an amazing starter, crispy on outside, pure liquid cheese on inside. The steak was cooked to perfection, but the best bit was the onion rings. Very large portions, took the leftovers home. The dessert was disappointing, bland ice cream from a tub. Not really a house wine fan, but the house red was smooth and easy to drink

We arrived about 8.30 I think it was Laura who greeted us Friendly and helpful as ever.We were show to our table the house wine was good value and very good, the meal was fantastic we both had steak expertly cooked with a wide verity of accomplements. The meal was inexpensive and a lot better than some more well known establishments.

This was booked for a friends birthday. The steak was beautiful the staff were so friendly. This is a quirky little bistro would defo recommend! I will be coming back.

Absolutely delicious!Beat all these big steak chains out there that we normally eat at. Staff (Laura) was so lovely and helpful. Iv woken up this morning dreaming of the Gordon Blu. Can’t wait to come back thank you so much Martin had a lovely birthday meal last night xxxxxx

Stayed in the town for 1 night and after doing some research settled on this Gem of a Place I really cannot Fault it when we arrived it was fairly busy with only 1 waitress on and the Chef Martin but that didn't effect the Service the Waitress who I can't remember her name is a Gem and knows her stuff we all had the steak which was incredible I would recommend it and the prices are very reasonable. I had never saw this before but to get to the toilet u have to walk into the kitchen are lol I didn't mind but just thought it was unusual but sure look the food was incredible and that's all that matters. Don't know when I'll be in that neck of the woods again but if I am this is where I will eat. Sláinte

We went on a Monday night and had a lovely evening, having the whole place to ourselves! The mozzarella, tomato and basil salad was deliciously fresh. Fillet steaks were melt in the mouth and more than enough with huge side orders thrown in (no hidden extras here). Wine was good and well priced with it! Martin was a one man band and the food and service were both excellent! Top value and great venue! We will be back

A party of 12 of us booked Martin's place for my 70th. We had a great evening with plenty of food and drink. The fillet steaks are the best we have ever had. Could not fault the food. Such a cosy little restaurant but it's advisable to pre book a table especially at weekends. Recommended.

Amazing. The excellent reviews are all true . Literally could not fault a thing. Very relaxing homely atmostphere. We were instantly relaxed. The flavour in the marinesque sauce is to die for. Best restaurant in Uxbridge for sure.

Went to Martins Place last night for anniversary meal with my husband. Couldn't fault the food and the service. Both Martin and the waitress were very friendly.

Eat here yesterday evening and found the food excellent and the staff so friendly it was as if we were regular visitors - the menu is varied enough for anyone, the food is plentiful, tasty and served piping hot. Definitely intend visiting again.

The menu is simple but the food is always good and plentiful.

The food at Martin's Place is fantastic and plentiful. He closed to the public for us we ordered ahead and everything was perfect. Highly recommend you give this a try

This is a small friendly restaurant with good quality food and wine. We have now been a couple of times, it is always advisable to book as it is really small. Each time the experience has been excellent - the food is great and the staff are amazing - a really good place to enjoy a meal with friends.

We have been meaning to go to Martins Place for many years, people have recommended it, and having walked passed it on numerous occasions it always seems busy.

Kleines, gepflegtes Restaurant. Sehr freundliche Bedienung. Sehr sehr gutes Essen. Portionen ausreichend. Gemütliche Atmosphäre. Mit anderen Worten - es war perfekt. Wir haben uns dort sehr wohl gefühlt, kann ich nur weiterempfehlen. Sollten wir wieder in dieser Gegend sein, werden wir es sicher wieder besuchen.

This small restaurant (about 20 covers normally has 2 sittings). The interior is not 'on trend' and is s bit of a throwback to the 80's. But we don't come her for the styling - it's all about the food. Martin is the owner and chef. It is a small menu with steak being the most popular dish offered with a range of sauces. I personally love the calves liver which is always tender and moist. You are given a generous bowlful of vegetables and chips and new potatoes. You certainly don't feel cheated on portion size. The wine is very reasonably priced and the pancakes are a great option to finish the evening. There is only waitress who serves all the tables and she was very attentive on our last visit. Our meal for 4 with drinks came to just over £100. I am glad to say our visits to Martins Place have always been a positive experience

Met some lovely people there and the food was great. The owner was fantastic as it was a busy Saturday night. Very welcoming place and we will be back again with friends.

Haven't been here for a while and it is still as good as I remember.The restaurant has had a lick of paint and a general spruce up. Steak as good as ever plenty of veg included.We won't leave it as likely mgmt to return

Food excellent 2 meals £8.99, beer prices hobgoblin £2.15, sweets buy one get one free, friendly staff, quick service.

Booked by the boss for a meal with the team, when we arrived I wondered what she had booked to be honest, it was a very hot day and Martins place was warm, but on seating were offered drink straight away a lovely cold beer, others had wine, white and red and soft drinks all bought out to us by the very attentive waitress. Food order was taken as Martin place filled up with all 20 covers, they had to pretty much get 20 meals ready all at the same time, noticed the low music was of good taste and suitable for most, I ordered fillet steak as I normally do when out and this has to be one of the best I have had, served with as many chips and veg as you wanted pretty much, would go back and again enjoyed the company and the food was great.

As always martins place offers that personal touch to classic food. A lovely little restaurant not held up by corporate rubbish. Personal touch and fantastic food and service. Would always recommend to friends and family.

Just finished the most delicious meal in a very quaint & friendly local restaurant!! I'm visiting my family for the weekend & they are frequent visitors to Martins - I cannot wait to come back!!! Thanks to all concerned - can highly recommend!! (Ps the Irish coffee was superb!!! )

Small 18/20 covers in pleasant surroundings. Always a friendly welcome by Martin and the Waitress. Good piping hot homemade food with fresh vegetables at very reasonable prices. Once you have tried them you will want to return.

I have been here plenty of times with my Family over the years. Martin is a excellent chef. We have yet to come across a problem. The food is always piping hot and served quickly. The staff are always very polite. I will definatly be going back there very soon.

For the quality, experience and price you will be hard pushed to find better! We have been here several times now and the quality of the food is always outstanding! Over time we've tried the "Dufftown" and "Martinesque" fillet steak, rack of lamb and T-Bone steak. All are absolutely delicious! The garlic mushrooms for starter are a firm favourite!! The restaurant itself is quite different - one man; Martin, cooks (hence the name) and a lovely lady serves. The toilets are a quick walk through the kitchen but it gives you a chance to glimpse at the master at work. Music gently plays in the background while tea lights and fairy lights create a beautiful ambience! We usually order house white or Pinot Grigio and both are very nice. Your meal comes with a healthy sized portion of chips, new potatoes and veg. This place is always busy so you will need to book! I really love it here!!
